Towards Designing Future-Proof Data Processing Systems

Summary: Argues that reactive, incremental adaptations have produced unsustainable bloat in data-processing systems as workloads, formats, and execution environments evolve. Extracts principles from prior work and sketches modular, composable, environment- and workload-agnostic architectures for future-proof efficiency. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
